Danmachi SI-The Silence's Heir

Part 30

Chapter 30

RYUU LEON

Ryuu Leon rushed out of the dungeon, her journey back made a lot easier by the healing of her wounds, and even as she ran she could feel it. The difference that her rank up had made, as she felt herself to be faster, stronger and better than before.

And even then, the injuries she had sustained prior to the rank up had made it impossible for her to face, the Ikelos familia captain and so she had been ordered to call for Inumaki-sama. And until now she had not really had the opportunity to understand her situation, to fathom that she was now a part of another familia.

Hestia familia.

But that all would come later as she blurred out of the lobby, racing through the streets of Orario, and came upon the church that she had left earlier, and as soon as she was there her feet stilled as she saw the carnage there, as dozens upon dozens of bodies lay strewn all over the area, as a few adventurers stood there, pale faced and barely holding onto their stomach contents.

"You cannot enter this is a crime scene..." one of them tried to speak up.

"She is with us," a familiar voice came in from behind, and she turned to the side and saw all her friends sitting there as a healer bandaged there wounds.

"Kaguya! Alise!" she called out both in relief and happiness as she jumped towards them, and yet their faces grim.

"What happened?" she asked.

"Inumaki-sama came back," and it was Kaguya who answered.

"And ended the whole battle singlehandedly," and that was not surprising, but the brutality was, but not to her. Nor to her friends, who while a bit affected had survived and fought through the Erbeus war, had faced the might of Alfia herself.

"He killed all of them, both Phryne Jamil and Dix Perdix," Alise added, before she pointed towards a dead body to her side, one surrounded by several adventurers, which now she recognised to be a part of the Ganesha familia.

"They also found her to be a part of the attacking group," and as her eyes narrowed at the face, she stilled as she recognsied it. It was the same face she had been asked to look into by Inumaki-kun, the face of an Evilus executive thought long dead.

"Arachina," she realised and Alise nodded.

"This confirms his suspicion," Alise added, and she knew of it as well for he had shared it with her as well.

"That this was Evilus's doing, that Ishtar and Ikelos familia was involved with that organization," and that was going to change a lot of things. For while Ikelos familia was not well known, Ishtar familia was one of the city's largest and more influential familias.

If they had links to Evilus, such direct links. It meant that Evilus was far more active and alive than they had realised.

"Are all of them really dead?" she asked, and Kaguya shook her head.

"No. He did spare a few members from the Ishtar familia, though none from the Ikelos familia made it out alive," and this would need to be investigated.

"The Guild will have to issue a statement," she added, and Alise nodded.

"Yes, they will have to," and it was only then she remembered something.

"Where is he? Inumaki-ku..." but before she could finish her question, all of them stilled as the air in the city came to a halt for a second before the ground shook, and a massive pillar of light rose into the skies, basking the city in its light.
